"Launching Asian Sunday London is very close to my heart, both on a personal and professional level," said Fatima Patel, Managing Director, I & E Media, and Managing Editor, Asian Sunday.

"It hopefully will allow me to continue my journey as a female entrepreneur but also, being probably the only female-owned Asian newspaper, will help me promote to the Asian community and the wider community that dreams can become reality - the journey of a Muslim girl from Bradford, now daring to launch a benchmark media title in London."

Asian Sunday London will begin delivering over 250,000 copies per month to over 20 Tube stations, businesses, retailers, households and supermarkets across London from November 10.

The Commons event will also be attended by Bradford and London MPs, VIPs and dignitaries from across the business and media sectors.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place at the House of Commons in London on October 29.
